American Indian Heritage Month

Back in 1620, the Pilgrims came over on the Mayflower and tried to get a colony started in Massachusetts. It's a story we all know. And most of us know that if it hadn't been for some helpful American Indians in the area, chances are every English Pilgrim would have ended up meager rations for local wolves.

As we get closer to Thanksgiving, we celebrate the contribution of American Indians to the founding, survival and flourishing of the United States. The impact of this contribution is often overlooked, but should never be forgotten.

The Library of Congress always does it up right...take a look at their links and educational resources regarding the history and accomplishements of American Indians!
